Customer Reviews Errigal, Co Donegal YHA
| 24 Oct 2012 Katelyn, Canada | 100% | |
| We arrived after nearly 11 hours of driving and the staff was wonderful in getting us set up with a room and internet. We were invited to a traditional Irish music night in the town over and were given great directions and tips for hiking in the area the following day. Best of all, they let us come back after check out to wash up post-hike. It was our favourite hostel in Ireland and we'd definitely recommend it to friends and family. | ||
